PZ Myers has this story of some pastor caught lying for jesus.
In a few hours, he went from apologizing for our past dealings with slimy lying Christians, to suggesting it's okay to abuse women, kill neighbors, and slaughter children under the guise of atheism.
So I banned him. I found what he did to be disgusting. It would be like me pretending to me multiple Christians on a Christian blog, asserting there's nothing wrong with raping women and killing children because God commands it in the Bible.
Who would do such a stupid thing?
It turns out, a pastor would. After some more digging, I was able to figure out the commenter's identity: Pastor Chris Fox of Kendalls Baptist Church in New London, NC.
Way to lie for Jesus, pastor! I'm sure you make your congregation proud. |
The guy later apologized, I guess.
Guess who that reminds you of?

Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

Originally posted by the_ignored The guy later apologized, I guess. | Nope. Isn't it interesting that a pastor comes here to preach morality and salvation to us sinful atheists, but then lies about his identity numerous times in order to slander atheism — and even when caught, refuses to acknowledge he did anything wrong. |
Edit: Never mind. Apparently there was an update saying the pastor eventually apologized. Took a few days of mulling it over, I guess, before he could admit that what he did might be considered immoral. Maybe he had to pray on it.

What's interesting to me isn't that a Christian like Pastor Chris Fox would dishonestly pose as an immoral atheist. (After all, isn't "pious fraud" a traditional part of the preachers' job description?)
What interests me is that atheists would immediately spot that immoral pose as not fitting with the behavior of any of the atheists they know. That atheists themselves saw this at once as suspiciously bizarre behavior for one of their own is compelling evidence that they are indeed not immoral beasts.
Since the Pastor Chris Fox was trying to pull off a scam based upon the believability of his pose, I would conclude that he really does (or did) have a false idea that the godless are immoral by nature. Otherwise, he'd have greatly refined his pose. I hope, but doubt, that he's learned a bit from this.
